Come one, come all…It’s finally FALL!!!
Announcing the Crossgates Virtual Pumpkin Carving Contest Presented by Fidelis Care. We want to see your spookiest, cutest and most creative creations.
After removing the pumpkin guts, begin carving the various lantern patterns. You’ll need a carving knife, a wooden spoon, a pencil, and a cordless drill with various-sized drill bits. Follow 4 easy steps to carve your Jack-o'-lantern pumpkin 1. Choose a large pumpkin and use a sharp serrated knife to cut off the crown. Using a large serving spoon, scoop out the seeds and fibres and discard. Then remove some of the flesh. With a marker pen, draw a simple outline of a face (see templates) on the pumpkin.
From October 1st- October 31st, send in your photo to [email protected] and automatically be entered to win a $100 gift card. Winner will be notified via email and winning photo will be showcased on our Facebook and Instagram pages.

2020 is slowly coming to an end (much to my personal delight!) and what better way to celebrate than a bit of ol' pumpkin carving! This year I'm hoping for some terrifying designs that I can steal to scare folks away from my front door - social distancing is of course still very important and I just plain don't like sharing candy...
Your task is to carve a Spiral Knights themed pumpkin and enter it. The rules are the same as previous years, but please do re-read them as following them is important!
Deadline: October 31 11:59 PM Game Time

The Rules:
- Obtain a real pumpkin. If pumpkins are not available where you live, you can try any type of gourd, squash, etc. If you aren't in the right area of the world for pumpkins, use a watermelon!

- Carve the design onto your pumpkin.
- Create a card (or slip of paper) that includes your knight name and the year (2020).
- Take at least two 'creation' pictures while you are carving your pumpkin, to prove it's your own work. Include a card with your knight's name and the year in EACH photo (no photoshopping).
- Take at least one lit and one unlit photo of your pumpkin, again including your knight's name on a card to show it's your own handiwork.
- Host your images on Imgur. You don't need to make an account--just upload them
- Submit your entry with a minimum of four photos per entry (two creation, one lit, and one unlit) in the entry thread in the Treasure Vault along with your knight's name and your prize preference.
- Double check your entry to make sure you have four working links to each entry, and that it follows the template below.
